Kellen is in his second season with St. Johns XXIII Collegiate Preparatory located in Katy, TX. He has scored over 1,000 points as a Lion. He is currently averaging 22.3 points per game on the season. He has had multiple 30 point performances this season alone. His team is currently 6-12 on the season.
He has a really good motor. He can create for himself as well as create for his teammates. Buys in defensively and plays solid on-ball and will block shots at the rim. Long and athletic prospect that can guard the 1-3 spots. Gets a lot of paint touches and gets to the foul line a lot. Has a solid IQ on both sides of the ball. Can shoot the deep ball pushing NBA range at a solid percentage. He would be solid on the D2/NAIA/D3 level.
Kellen how are you feeling about the season so far? I’m feeling pretty good. We lost a lot of key players from last season but it has forced me to step up my play and become the leader that I need to be on the floor. How did you feel that your summer went? It was good and FAM Elite is a good program that travels and I would recommend people to go and play with them, I was also surrounded by some solid players that pushed me as well. How did playing with them help out your recruitment? It helped out a lot because I got to play in different states that I wouldn’t have been able to play in with a different program and I got to meet and talk to coaches from various places. Ok, can you talk about your recruitment as in who has offered you or is in contact with you? I have numerous D3 offers on the table right now from schools that are close and far like the University of St. Thomas. I have been contacted by a couple of D2 schools like Texas A&M Commerce and a school from South Dakota. I plan on taking some visits once the High School season is over. So when are you looking to make a commitment? It will definitely be before graduation, it will be sometime after the season after I take my visits. Thank you for your time and may God bless you with a healthy finish to your senior season and your collegiate career.
